A high-performance patrol vessel designed with Petestep’s Spray Deflector Technology and refined through Rhino and Orca3D Marine CFD. The Silverback Grizzly 21 LE sets a new benchmark for speed, efficiency, and crew comfort in law enforcement marine craft. - https://lnkd.in/eVYbdMDr #Rhino3D #Rhinoceros3D #Orca3D #Marinedesign #Rhino3Dzine
Great job Kieran Green! We love these stories! Any other students out there who want to share their first projects using Rhino3D?
With no prior experience, I spent the last 10 weeks learning Rhino 3D by Robert McNeel and Associates and KeyShot. Here's what I pushed myself to create during the first three of those weeks. More projects coming soon!
We are excited about this feature in the Rhino WIP.
Wanted to share 5-minute video I put together about the new #SectionTools features in the latest #RhinoWIP. Look forward to hearing your feedback. https://lnkd.in/gGehaGsQ
Thanks Nathan Miller for articulating a set of practical and necessary considerations for the use of AI in architecture.
Nathan Miller has authored a new article exploring how AI adoption challenges the ethics of professional architects. He proposes important tactics for realizing the advantages of the technology while mitigating professional risk: Link: https://lnkd.in/g_Bpjd7J ✅ Exercise Responsible Control - Architects should be mindful of their standards of competence and responsible control and enact policies for meeting quality expectations for AI output. ✅ Evaluate and Critique Bias - Architects should implement design review and critique processes with consideration to how AI output, such as imagery, and does not reinforce harmful biases or stereotypes. ✅ Provide Transparency - Architects should carefully consider the evolving legal landscape regarding AI training, copyright, and fair use. Transparent disclosures and disclaimers of AI use and documenting how an AI output was transformed by human contribution are examples of ways to safeguard creative ownership of the design. ✅ Review Terms of Use: Architects should conduct careful review of AI terms of service with regards to maintaining trusted relationships and expectations for privacy, security, and confidentiality. ✅ Assess Environmental Impact - Architects should weigh their commitments to sustainability and environmental impact and carefully select uses for AI that will enable them to meet the challenges posed by climate change. #ai #architect #architecture #tech #ethics #design
We would love to hear your feedback on this.
Are you a student and want to learn Grasshopper by Rhino 3D by Robert McNeel and Associates? Raven is the first Grasshopper native AI Copilot out there and we have just made it accessible via student license. If you’re learning parametric design, this is the shortcut we wish we had. 🦅 Type what you want to build → Raven writes the Grasshopper logic 🦅 Have Raven explain what you see or how geometries are built 🦅 Explore Grasshopper plugins like Ladybug to analyze your geometry Build, explore, surf the AI latency space in CAD — now also for students. 👉 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dFtWxKNd
Learn how to build new G2 plugins and port existing GH1 code using C# and .NET (Core). Nathan Miller and Japhy Walton are leading this workshop at AECTech New York
🦗 AECtech New York Workshop Announcement 🦗 🧩🦏 Developing Custom Plugins for Grasshopper 2 (G2) Grasshopper owes much of its power to the community’s plugin ecosystem.

They will guide participants through: • Install Grasshopper 2 and manage custom plugins • Set up a Visual Studio C# project for G2 development • Port a Grasshopper 1 plugin to G2 (patterns & pitfalls) • Create crisp vector-based icons for your G2 components • Build & validate a functional G2 plugin from the provided template Who should attend • 🐣 Grasshopper users ready to become plugin authors • 🧑💻 Developers & scripters looking to modernize workflows in G2 📚Prerequisites • Basic C# knowledge (prior plugin experience ideal) • Rhino 9 WIP (preferred) or Rhino 8 (alternative) • Grasshopper 2 alpha via Rhino Package Manager • Microsoft Visual Studio (Community Edition) • LunchBox G2 alpha 📅 Date: Thursday, November 13th 🕤 Time: 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM (EST) (This is an afternoon workshop) 📍 Location: Verizon Education Center, Cornell Tech, New York 🎟️ Learn more & register: https://lnkd.in/eqCAD7JU Bring your laptop and curiosity!🚀✨
This is a very cool Skate Park by Skate Ecosystems. Thanks Andres Gonzalez for sharing.
The Del Rio Skate Garden in Texas is the world’s first municipal skate garden, merging flowing concrete terrain with native desert ecology. Designed and built by skateECOSYSTEMS using Rhino 8, it redefines the skatepark as both civic artwork and living landscape. - https://lnkd.in/eukZA5EE #Rhino3D ##Grasshopper3D #Rhino3Dzine
Thanks Nathan Miller for making this happen!
‼️ WORKSHOP(s) announcement! This November, I'll be facilitating two aec+tech workshops for Grasshopper 2 with my colleagues from Proving Ground and Rhino 3D by Robert McNeel and Associates: Link: https://lnkd.in/gJNxXPsQ 🦗 Computational Design with Grasshopper 2: This morning workshop is focused on getting oriented to Grasshopper 2. This workshop is useful to computational beginners as well as Grasshopper veterans who want to get (re)oriented to workflows in G2. 🦗 Developing Custom Plugins in Grasshopper 2: This afternoon workshop will introduce plugin development workflows for building your own plugins for Grasshopper 2. This workshop will be useful if you want to create a new plugin or port your Grasshopper plugin. #grasshopper3d #rhinoceros3d #aec #computationaldesign #architecture

Thank you JUNGHWO PARK !!
Head of Virtual Design and Construction | Metaverse Architect at Umdasch Group Ventures
What a Historic Day - Rhino3D and Grahopper Rhino 3D by Robert McNeel and Associates at Autodesk University 2025! I’m beyond excited and grateful to have had the privilege of presenting today at Autodesk University 2025! Showcasing how Rhino.Inside.Revit is transforming workflows for designers and engineers. A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who joined the session!! your energy and engagement made it special! Special shoutouts to: - Johann Peneder (Umdasch Group Technologies) who supports and encourage me in my last dance! - Rajesh Kumar Mishra and Jinglei (Autodesk) for their amazing on-site support - Japhy Walton (Rhino 3D by Robert McNeel and Associates) for helping make this possible and backend supporting at AU25 - Doka colleagues and Jochen Koehler support us from behind, and my former boss Christian Pagitsch (ATP architects engineers Vienna) cheering me on site! -Verena V. (McNeel Europe) & Krzysztof (Kris) Wojslaw (Learn Grasshopper), Melissa Böck (Autodesk) for keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes! This session wasn’t an easy one, but sharing these workflows with all of you made it 100% worth it. If you have questions about the examples I shared, feel free to connect or message me! I’d love to continue the conversation. Enjoy Grasshopper inside Revit and let’s keep pushing parametric BIM forward! #UmdaschGroupTechnologies #Doka #McNeel #LearnGrasshopper #AutodeskUniversity #SPOT #Rhino3D #RhinoInsideRevit #Grasshopper #BIM #AEC #ParametricBIM
